Consensus items

Robert proposes a person must have at least a minimum of one active project to be at Noisebridge

Robert proposes a person must have at least a minimum of one active project to be at Noisebridge. David asks what is an active project. Robert Clarifies. Jarrod Notes that this proposal is too vague. Carlos sort of seconds this.
Proposal retracted.

seriously? who do you think shwould decide what constitutes an "active project"? authoritarian nonsense like this shouldn't make it past discussion. noisebridge i am disappoint to see this listed as a potential consensus item. whoever proposed this should lurk moar and/or stop trolling.

Pidgeon proposes to ban Dru from Noisebridge until there can be a confirmation that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safespace

Noisebridge as a safespace.
Pidgeon: I don't feel that I can represent this properly.

David: are you confident that this is a legtimate claim. Perhaps update us on the particulars

Dan: Since Last week. Dru read an email from Lillian, whom had been one of the people that brought this issue up to our attention. While this helps the issue with one of the individuals it does not resolve the other. I think it would be good if Dru could address the other person. Dan people who speak out should be heard and not retailiated against.
David: askes for details.

J.C. recaps the history of this issue leading up to this meeting.

Dan: Let's look at this as an oppertunity to figure out how we handle these issues going forward. So that we do not keep doing stupid things. More sensitivity.
Pidgeon: I did not know that there was energy work going on here. I saw Dru massaging/touching Dante's chest area. Pidgeon had a concern about boundaries during this. Pidgeon left for a while and then found out that Dante considered this assult.
Cynthia: Dru was at the last meeting.

David: I believe the process is to Ban someone untill they can come to a meeting.

J.C. This happened, but now this is a formal proposal to Ban him.

J.C. This is an Ongoing process that could be continued to be discussed last week.

Pidgeon: I also want to discuss being bullied in the space. After bringing up concerns about rape culture at Noisebridge. I understand there is shock about using that phase. Now people are making jokes about it and trivializing it. This has been going on all week. I heard someone threaten to rape someone in the space, non joking. There has been a lack of sensitivtiy to this issue and gender issues.

J.C. We are off topic.

Pidgeon: Almost everyone is making personal attacks toward me. I don't know if I am the only person experiencing this. I haven't been threatened with rape but I heard a threat. People say things like don't talk about sex in front of them [pidgeon]

J.C. There are a number of people that will be willing to help resolve this. This isn't the best forum for this.

David: Is there anyone here that would block this? Drunk in the space and sexually groping. Ban until next meeting? Is anyone blocking baning him until he comes to a meeting.

J.C. There is a proxy block on banning Dru. None of the people directly harmed have been able to assist the process.

Kevin: People on both sides, or their advocates, have not stepped up to mediate with Dru.
